Summary
Thanking Herbert for "the good word"; sharing that his is “touched” by how pleased his friends have been for him after he was awarded "the fellowship" [Rexroth won a Guggenheim fellowship in 1948]; noting that he was especially touched by Ruth Stephan's wire, remarking, "She must be quite a person. Certainly she runs a lovely, if slightly dafty (a term of approval with me) magazine" [Stephan was the co-editor of The Tiger's Eye literary magazine]; updating Herbert on his plans to travel later in the year.
